Summary
Will's trying to move on, from Hawkins. His grief, his trauma. He can remake himself in a new city, finally be someone else.
But what is it about his best friend that he cannot erase?
The word 'trust' has a vague shape for Will, an idea at best.
Mike can't stop himself, "Do you trust me?"
Will didn't think about the context of their conversation. He didn't take into account the weird in-between space their friendship has been in. He didn't think at all.
Without hesitating, "Yes."
Mike smiles something sad and definitive. Like something he had been scared to hope for has solidified in this moment.

Summary
Will starts a habit of sleeping in Mike's room.
Without a word, Mike reaches out and lightly grabs Will's jaw. He tilts his head up, down, side to side, studying every angle. There's no way he can't feel Will's pulse beating fast and hard against his hand, but either way, he doesn't comment on it.
"Hmm", sneaks out of Mike's mouth.
"Hmm?", Will can only parrot back.
Now he studies Will's eyes, trying to commit their shape and hue to memory - trying to erase memories of Will's possessed dark, clouded eyes. His Will, but not.
Will softens in his grasp and opens himself to Mike's gaze, no longer trying to steel himself from the moment, hide himself away. Just present, just here.
And something in Mike softens, too.
"There you are," Mike whispers.
This is hungry work.

Summary
He needed Ray, he needed to know he was breathing so he could know to breathe. Two hearts, one soul now.
If I'm breathing so is he. If I'm breathing, so is he.
The mantra that carried Peter through the suffocating, faux-glamour of his night. Half-dead, half-alive. Every breath a surprise and relief to himself, eyes brimming with delirious tears. So far so good.
So far, so good.
OR Pete saves Ray. Both survive. But now they must live.
